Dear Mr. xxxxxx,

As I begin another busy week in Washington, I wanted to pass along my latest update on what I have been doing to fight for you, Texas’ 21st Congressional district, and our country as a whole:

Stop. Funding. Crazy.
On Monday, I joined the Glenn Beck Program to urge congress to stop fueling the Left’s woke and weaponized agenda that is crippling our country. As the Manhattan DA’s office most recently exemplified, Republicans need to stop funding crazy. We cannot let the Biden administration trample on justice and wreck American lives.

Fighting back against Biden’s reckless spending plans:
The Biden Administration needs to get their priorities straight. On Thursday, I pressed White House OMB Director to address Biden’s out-of-control budget. The Biden Administration is increasing funding for climate crisis, but they are cutting funding to border security; this is totally backwards.

Biden labeled the Freedom Caucus plan to shrink Washington and grow America as a “five-alarm fire,” but the American people can see straight through his false narrative. Biden’s plan is the only one that will intensify the crisis at our border and fund a government that is weaponized against the American people.

My full remarks can be viewed here.

Here are some other news stories about what I’ve been up to lately:
● Freedom Caucus Hits Back at Biden’s ‘Wasteful, Woke, Weaponized’ Bureaucracy After White House Rejects Budget Plan
● Rand Paul and Chip Roy propose scrapping federal agency Fauci led
● 'We’re not gonna send money to pro-prostitution LGBT groups in Colombia': Republicans hit back at Biden's budget by claiming White House wants to spend tax dollars on issues 'China wouldn't give a rat's rear end' about
● McCarthy vows end to massive ‘omnibus’ spending bills: ‘Not going to happen’
